Ah yes, there is that little discrepancy.

Yes. How do the Brits pronounce it?
What about other countries?

I think the 'r' is in there - then again, I've lived in New England for 20 years, so I might here r's where none exist

It's not. British English is primarily non-rhotic. The New England accent, while more rhotic than British English, is still one of the least rhotic accents in America.

Please love yourself.

That may have changed in the last few years, however. I'm out of that loop.

When they weigh me at Duke or Columbia it’s in kilograms. They have a conversion chart on the wall for patient convenience.

Primarily. So, they'd be wrong.
